The campus housing system at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, referred to as University Housing (which is a unit of Student Life), provides living accommodations for approximately 11,000 undergraduate and graduate students. There is no requirement for first-year students to live in University Housing, yet approximately 97% of incoming students choose to do so.〔(About University Housing )〕 Every year, over 9,500 undergraduate students are housed in 18 residence halls on Central Campus, the Hill Neighborhood, and North Campus.〔(Undergraduate Housing Overviews )〕 Undergraduates, graduate students, and students with families can live in University Housing apartments in the Northwood Community on North Campus.〔(Housing for Graduate Students & Students with Families )〕 Seven full-service dining halls as well as several retail shops provide students with daily dining options.〔(Meal Plans )〕 ==Recent Developments== South Quad reopened for the fall 2014 term after extensive renovations. The renovated South Quad features an all-new dining facility equipped with 10 unique restaurant concepts, music practice rooms, a new community center, redesigned group study rooms, improved student bathrooms, wireless network access, upgraded plumbing, and air conditioning.〔(South Quadrangle )〕 West Quad has been closed for renovations since the end of the winter 2014 term. Upon reopening in 2015, the new design will include upgraded infrastructure, improved accessibility, renovated student rooms and bathrooms, and remodeled community and study spaces. The dining operation in West Quad will not reopen — accommodated by the new dining center in South Quad across the street — and the current dining and kitchen areas will be repurposed for community spaces.〔 Construction has begun and is scheduled to be completed in the summer of 2015 for the Munger Graduate Residences, a new residence hall for graduate students. In April 2013, University Housing announced a $110 million gift from U-M alumnus Charles Munger for the new facility. With a focus on collaborative living for scholars, the design includes study spaces, meeting rooms, music practice spaces, a multi-purpose room, and a recreation room.〔Broekhuizen, Kim, ("Regents approve schematic design for new graduate residence" ), "The University Record", 19 September 2013〕 After a year-long renovation, East Quad reopened for the fall 2013 term with improved infrastructure, renovated student rooms and bathrooms, an improved dining hall and kitchen facilities, new spaces to enhance student and community life, and renovated classrooms and faculty offices.〔(Residential Life Initiatives Briefing Summer 2013 ), ''University Housing'', 2013〕 Other completed projects include renovations to Alice Lloyd Hall and a remodel of Baits Houses (named for Regent Vera Baits), both of which reopened in fall 2012. Couzens Hall reopened for the fall 2011 semester after extensive renovation. The newest residence hall, North Quad, was opened in fall 2010. Features of North Quad include modern student rooms, a marketplace-style dining center, community learning spaces, a high-tech media gateway, classrooms and seminar spaces, and lounges on each floor.〔(North Quadrangle )〕 Stockwell Hall reopened in 2009 after renovation. In 2008, construction of the Hill Dining Center was completed. The two-level dining center offers a variety of meal options as well as Victors cafe, which offers longer hours and convenience items.
